Question
1. A photographer took pictures of my son today, and I haven't paid her yet. She says she'll be near my house after nightfall, and I can pay her then, and she doesn't mind. Do I have an issue with paying wages on the same day? 2. Is there a concern of the evil eye with publishing my son's halake photos on the photographer's website (the publication brings clients to the photographer)? 3. Is it permissible to cut a child's hair 2 weeks before he turns 3, so he enters the cheder with a haircut like most of the kindergarten? Or do we avoid cutting before age 3? Thank you very much!!!!
Answer
Hello,
A. There is no prohibition against not paying when she forgives, but the mitzvah to pay on the same day is not fulfilled in this manner.
B. There is no problem with this, as it is not publicized to the entire public, only to those who wish to see the photographer's work.
C. It is permissible to do it a little earlier for the child's needs.
